This USB Ferris Wheel Phone Stand will detect any incoming phone call and it’ll trigger the Ferris wheel to rotate with or without music background.

Be green, be technological, be in love with your cellphone as much as you want to. It’s even better if you’re a Naruto fan! This Solar Cell Strap For Phones helps you charge your flash plate with sunlight.

It’s not advised to buy one if you live in Northern Europe or Iceland or the North Pole. It’s not going to be too much fun around half a year.

As the movie fanatic that I am, I cannot help but to love this iPhone app (although I really don’t like Apple). The Movie Map iPhone App says it can find movie locations all around the world and show you where that scene from that movie you love was shot. Pretty awesome, I say!

The Movie Map app uses Google Maps (of course) and it has a Featured Locations tab that you can select if you want to find more information about when a scene was shot in a certain location. You can also add locations yourself on the app’s website.

Let’s say you have an iPhone. Let’s say you have an iPhone without a front-facing camera. Let’s say you want to take a picture of yourself and you don’t think it’s a good idea to take one in the mirror, in the comfort of your own bathroom. What do you do?

iSnapMe solves this complicated dilemma for you. This ingenious device will help you take nice portraits of yourself when in need of an urgent profile picture update on Facebook or Twitter. Just attach it to the back of your phone and pop that camera like there’s no tomorrow.

Most iPod cases follow the Apple style of design: clean, simple and trendy. Nothing wrong with that, but sometimes you want to stray from the beaten path.

As far as cases go, there’s nothing more radically different than the Cute Cases (though “furry cases” might have been a better name). They’re hand made, funky colored (pink! purple! green!), fit a lot of types of iPods and are definitely unique.

They’re also not for everyone: that much fluff and pinkness can grate on a lot of nerves (mine included), but that’s ultimately a matter of taste.

One of the most annoying design-related things about a cell phone is the lack of a hole for a strap. Why would you forget that? A lanyard makes it easier to find in a bag and more difficult to lose, every model should come with one! Unfortunately, they don’t.

That being said… the Danglet has a good idea behind it, but it goes bad in the end.

In short, it’s a wrist and neck strap adapter for the iPod and iPhone, which is awesome… until you see exactly how it works: by plugging into the connector port. Now I know myself, and I know that I abuse my gadgets, so I don’t think a Danglet would be a good idea. Why risk yanking the cord a bit firmer and damage your port? I’d stick to something safer.

This gadget comes from China. Does that mean it’s completely crap and useless? Actually… not at all.

This Bluetooth Bracelet with Vibration and LCD Display, while not exactly essential for anyone, can make office life a bit easier.

If you don’t want to disrupt meeting you’ll put your phone on silent, but what if it means missing that one super-important call? You could keep glancing at the phone… if you want to make the boss think realize you’re not paying attention to his presentation.

In short, this bracelet vibrates when a call is received and displays the phone number of the caller. Not very helpful without a name attached to the number, unfortunately, but it’s a start. Even better, you can reject the call with the bracelet, so no need to fish the phone out of pockets unless you actually want to answer it.

Although the internet makes it very easy to stay connected to the world, cell phones are still a more effective way of getting a hold of people. Actually, if you checked out a random person’s desk, there’s two things you’ll probably find: a computer and a phone.

But if said phone is buried under a mountain of papers and forgotten on mute… it’s pretty much useless.

The Mobile Rak makes messy people’s lives easier: since it attaches to the lid of your laptop, it holds any phone/other similar-sized device right in front of your eyes. Not only you won’t lose it again, there’s no way you’ll miss another call.

However, there’s 2 downsides.
1. A velcro band will be attached permanently to your lid. Of course you can remove it, but wiping all the glue off is an exercise in futily.
2. If you adjust the display’s position, the phone might fall out; if you use the included elastic band to hold it in place, it’s more difficult to pick up once it starts ringing.

Do the pros outweight the cons? I’d say they do (but that’s just because I’m a little cell phone addict).

We don’t usually feature iPhone apps here… but this was too good to pass up.

If you watch Battlerstar Galactica, you know cylons might be living among us. We don’t want to end up roaming around the universe with a ragtag fleet of run-down ships, so we need to take action now. Dr. Baltar’s tool has been improved and now it’s available for anyone: the Cylon Detector iPhone app.

It doesn’t even need blood samples: just snap a photo of the subject (or use one stored in the phone), choose “scan male” or “scan female” and the result will pop up on the screen. If it’s positive… well, you’d better start panicking now, because it means we’re kind of screwed.
